How to pull Citrix username into Java application

Question

I have an application that pulls the windows user's user name and uses that name to check against a database and provides various alerts when needed for that user name. I am needing to modify the program to be able to pull the Citrix username instead but I can not find any information on this. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Answer 1

I don't know about how to pull Citrix but if you need the username and if it's available according to the privileges request.getRemoteUser() or request.getUserPrincipal() should work otherwise you can try

System.getProperty("user.name") but it will only give you the username of the user running the java process.
